Hedeoma Pulegioides

This plant is named by Mure, who gives a figure of it in his book and

describes it thus: "The brownish ligneous stem of this plant is about three feet high; it is ramose,

pubescent, especially above. Leaves alternate, pinnate, trifoliate; folioles oval and slightly

tormentose, on a hairy, bistipulate petiole. The flowers, which are small and seated on filiform

unifloral peduncles, form loose, terminal spikes. Fruit oval, hairy, on bent peduncles, and

attaching itself very intimately to clothes and to hairy skin of animals." I give this description in

full because the species, according to Allen, is doubtful. The symptoms are not many but they

are very definite, and knowing the value of Mure's observations in the case of Ocim. can. and

other remedies I give them in full. The chief effect was inflammation of the penis and of the

eyes, which should indicate it in some cases of gonorrhceal ophthalmia.
